The present invention relates to a signal for automobiles and has forits object to provide a simple and efficient structure which embodies acasing with a pair of arms swingably mounted therein and means foroperating said arms.

In the drawing: a Figure 1 is a front elevation of the device embodyingthe features of my invention,

it Figure 2 is a vertical section therethrough,

Figure 3 is another vertical section taken at right angles to that shownin Figure 2 and substantially on the line 3-3 of Figure 1.

Referring to the drawing in detail, it will be seen that the numeral 1denotes a casing having its sides open, a pair of signal arms 2 arepivoted in the top of the casing as at 3. A spring 4 is connected to thearms 2 so as to normally maintain the arms in the' casing, that is in anon signalling position. Cables 5 are attached to the arms as at 6 andcross each other as at 7, then pass over a socket 8 extending throughthe casing and then cross each other a second time as at 9 and passthrough space openings 10 in the bottom portion of the casing to beoperated in any desired manner at a remote point. A second socket 11extends through the lOWer portion of the casing. Lamp housings 12 and 13are carried by the sockets 8 and 11 respectively.

It is thought that the construction, operation, and advantages of thisinvention will now be quite apparent to those skilled in I this art. Itis apparent that changes in the details of construction, and in thecombination and arrangement of parts may be resorted to withoutdeparting from the spirit or scope of the invention, as hereinafterclaimed orsacrificing any of its advantages. Having thus described myinvention, what I claim as new is:

Aasignal of the class described comprising a casing, a pair of armspivoted in the upper portion of the casing, spring means connected withthe arms tonormally hold said arms inwardly of the casing, cablesconnected to said arms for swingingsaid arms outwardly of the casing tosignalling positions, said cables crossing each other, amemberprojecting through the casing and over which said cables pass, saidcables crossing OSCAR FAIRLESS.
